hi all!

I'm just about doing a "Try it out" in Beg ASP 3.0 - Chapter 10 - about displaying a Directory. Of course I want to spice it up a bit with some adds of my own.. :)

Everything's just working fine till I got myself this hard nut to crack..

You see, I want to display the Server Path as you can obtain with
Request.ServerVariables("PATH_INFO")

but then I only want to display the ONE Parent folder of the .asp file I'm browsing

So I figured, Using the "Finding a Particular Word" - string manipulator - Instr(string, "/") - would be a nice aid for the task.

Only that, the Instr() returns the value of the first occurrence of the "/" starting from the left


Now, Is there a way to make a Instr() search starting from the right?
That I think would just do it! :D

Try InStrRev()

Thanks mate!

Of course, now when I knew what to search for, I easily found a reference to the InStrRev() in Appendix D, page 968 (Beginning ASP 3.0).

Experience is the key I guess ..

After ten minutes of troubleshooting, the consultant pressed one button on the side of a machine and the whole plant started back up. He turned to the plant manager and said, "Ok, all fixed, that'll be $10,000."

The plant manager was shocked, "You're CRAZY! A monkey could have pressed that one button."

The consultant thoughtfully replied, "But would the monkey have known WHICH button to press?"
